Health Literacy: Crucial in Community Education

Have you finished a consultation with the feeling your advice wouldn’t be implemented as you had hoped? Perhaps low Health Literacy and communication style might have been one of the barriers to an optimal outcome for your patient? This webinar will discuss what is health literacy, how can it be measured in clinical practice, the implications for health care resource planning and evidence-based interventions for clinicians and researchers to consider. We will draw from expertise of Dr Mary Boyde, health literacy researcher, who will discuss evidence from her work on Heart Failure chronic disease management. Dr Claire Ellender will give the sleep perspective and outline her collaborations with Dr Boyde, in which the principles of low health literacy intervention have improved CPAP usage for adults with OSA.
